July 21, 20214 yr Recently bought WF Scenery ZSPD and also updated the AFCAD with one from the AIG forum. It all works well, but P3D ATC is strange. On approach, you can 'preselect' any runway. On landing, you advise when you've vacated the runway, and I couldn't contact ground, to be assigned a gate. I've not come across this before. Is there something 'special' about ZSPD?

July 21, 20214 yr Usually these options exist for an airport of airfield without manned ATC, so I wonder if there's a problem with how the ATC was setup at this airport... I do have this scenery but didn't have the opportunity to fly in or out of it yet. I'll check if I have the same issue. For now you might want to revert to the original AFCAD to make sure the original doesn't have the issue.

July 22, 20214 yr I think you didn't download the later patch, which fixed this issue. On initial release, the whole ZSPD is an uncontrolled airport....And this behaivor is typical for them... but mostly some remote GA airport... BTW even if I tried to edit bt ADE, I still couldn't add a functinal ATIS to defalut ATC for any WFSS scenery, ZSPD,ZPPP or ZGSZ. anyone know what's the problem?
July 22, 20214 yr Author Thank you for the suggestions, they helped me joined the dots. As I am using an AIG-specific AFCAD, I want to keep the updated parking details, so the airport is busy with AI traffic. Looking at the AFCAD in ADE, under the Lists > Comms menu option there were no entries. I filled them in using information on the airport charts, recompiled and everything is now working as you'd hope including ATIS. Here's what I added if it helps anybody else... Airport Type Name Freq ZSPD GROUND SHANGHAI 121.700 ZSPD GROUND SHANGHAI 121.800 ZSPD ATIS ZSPD 127.850 ZSPD TOWER PUDONG 118.400 ZSPD APPROACH SHANGHAI 120.300 ZSPD APPROACH SHANGHAI 125.400 ZSPD CLEARANCE PUDONG 121.950 ZSPD GROUND SHANGHAI 121.625 Pete Gordon ASUS TUF Z370-Plus | i7-8700k | 32GB DDR4 2666MHz | GTX 1080 | 1TB SSD

July 23, 20214 yr Ok Ray downloaded all this, got the registration key, voice mods. Now are you using this in P3DV5.2? does it work with that program given it cannot find FSUIPC 4 because it is now version 6 in P3D.

July 23, 20214 yr Every parking spot has a hold short node does that confuse default ATC? My comms menu has a lot of frequencies there was an update to the scenery in my store account I installed this morning. The runway nodes have a invalid surface type and crash ADE if editing. Edited July 23, 20214 yr by Boeing or not going
July 23, 20214 yr Author @Boeing or not going - This is the reason I was using the AIG updated version of the AFCAD, as it fixes the hold short nodes and can be compiled in ADE. I've posted my changes of the original version at the bottom of this thread ... https://www.alpha-india.net/forums/index.php?topic=35831.0 (you'll need to be an AIG forum member) Full credit goes to Kevin and Christoph who did the hard work on the original AFCAD.
